Damn it Galdor! They were finally making some progress and then you go and interupt. Seriously, F.E., I think they need some alone time. LOL. I really liked the back story, it cleared it up some. But I really liked your take on the relationship between Arwen and Glorfindel. I'd never thought about it that way, but it really makes sense. Both would be alienated because of who they were, it would only male sense that they would seek each other. Great job, can't wait for more!

I love your story ^-^ Although I sometimes have problems understanding the explainations 0_o
hope you updates soon...... ;p

Hi ya, Fred

Glad to hear you had good holidays. I just got back from Arizona -- it was such a relief from the frozen State 'o Maine -- and here sat your update when I turned my computer on.

I'm lousy at leaving reviews because all I can say is WONDERFUL! So well written and descriptive. I'll be patient, I promise.

Certainly the most innovative fics I have read in sometime. Specially the religious aspect of the story. Very, very interesting.

The ritual was absolutely stunning. The amount of effort it must have taken to first come up with each part and then to make it flow so well is only further proof of your skills as a writer. The imagery created at each of Cuthenin's fellow's took part of his body was incredible and also clearly frightening on some levels. I can not imagine how hard that must have been for Glorfindel to witness such sorrow on his would-be lover's part and then for him to force himself to remain a strong source of power for him throughout the ceremony: simply magnificient. And I must also comment on the discussion between Glorfindel and Erestor in the flet: the powerful emotions of betrayl, contempt, and anger all came through brilliantly, yet their characters still remained very much as they have always been. I've seen far too many writers portray a character one way and then for them to portray them a slightly different way when they have written themselves into an emotional corner. You did not do this and for that I say "hurray" to your skills.

whoa, that was heavy, but in a good way. All I could think of during the possession scenes was "cool!" I mean seriously too cool, where do you come up with this stuff? And I'm glad Erestor and Glorfindel buried the hatchet, there are anough problems for Legolas without dealing with feuding lovers having sex in his bed- which is low for anyone! Great job, can't wait to see what happens next!

Love it, love it, love it! I should say more, but this will suffice: I love it!

OMG! This story just keeps getting better and better, if that is possible. Glorfindel and Erestor truly managed to make a mess of their relationship. The interaction between these two characters was really riveting. I found myself shaking my head at the folly of their behavior. And your description of the ritual was magnificent. I felt as though I was a witness to the event - as though I was standing outside the circle watching it unfold before me - rather than sitting in my living room reading about it. This was a marvelous Christmas present (OK so it was a day late , but close enough to count!) . I cannot begin to tell you how excited I was when I saw that this had been updated, and you did not disappoint. I will be anxiously awaiting the next installment - I can't wait to see where you take us next!

Another wonderful chapter, and I am very pleased that at last we got to hear at least some of what is bothering Erestor so very much. I was intrigued to see how you would be setting up the relationship between Erestor and Glorfindel in the past and what had gone so terribly wrong. It is wonderful to see an author who will demonstrate that at times the relationship failed as a result of both parties involved rather than just one (not many do), and while it was sad to see how much the breaking of the relationship has hurt Erestor it is equally upsetting to see how Glorfindel has failed to do anything to explain his heart and actions. I will go on to say that I loved the way that you started out the greiving ceremony but didn't really finish it, only leaving the description of the characters reactions and how they felt upon hearing the story that we'd already learned from Legolas earlier on: it was a bold technique to use. Such a great story, I can't wait for more.

Hiya, Fred
Just hopped on real quick -- taking a break from proofreading (part of my job) a really boring trial transcript -- and there you are with an update. I was a little disappointed it wasn't the grieving ritual, but I do see the need for this chapter. It will just give me something to anticipate! Your writing is so descriptive and well worded, all I had to do was close my eyes and I could see the scenes unfold. I just have one concrit -- write faster! (bg)
